Woman’s Body Discovered In Landfill Near Grove City

An autopsy is in progress on the body of a woman found in a landfill outside Grove City on Wednesday.

The body was found on the property of a garbage collection company that operates out of Pine Township. Sources say the company gathers trash from as far away as Erie, Youngstown and parts of Clarion County.

The victim was described as a 16-to-25 year-old female with long, brown hair, standing about five feet tall. She was wearing a black tank top, black yoga pants and white socks with green trim.

Missing persons reports are being extensively reviewed, and the investigation is being conducted by State Police officials from the Mercer County station in Jackson Center.
